Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 279 March [-]rd, Lang vs. Wolf

Perhaps it was because they heard the great victory in Yanzhou on the way, and after the people of Rongguo Mansion arrived at the Dabaoen Temple Dharma Conference, they felt much more relieved after being depressed for the past few months.

Mrs. Xing and her two maids had just passed through the Hall of Heavenly Kings under the guidance of Zhike Monk, when they heard the ringing of copper bells and faint sounds of Sanskrit in the main hall.

The believers and tourists on the Dharma path are almost like rubbing shoulders, which is very lively.Most of them are young people. They are not here to listen to the lectures of the monks, but are more brought by the elders to find marriage.

On March [-]rd, it is commonly said that it is the birthday of Beiji Blessing Sage and Zhenjun, and all major roads, palaces and Buddhist temples are teaching the Dharma, which is a good opportunity for those wives who have headaches about their children's marriage.

Looking up, men and women everywhere are wearing shepherd's flowers, visiting believers, ladies and gentlemen picking incense, drinking water and offering flowers, it's so lively.

Daiyu chanted subconsciously: "Three springs wear shepherd's flowers, peaches and plums are ashamed and prosperous."

"I also saw the place where the flowers are like snow, and I don't know that spring is already deep in the fields."

Yingchun pointed to the shepherd's flower on the side of the gable of the Buddhist temple, and after answering a poem, said with a smile: "Spring comes late, but it never misses the appointment."

Mrs. Xing was very happy to see what the two girls said. Although she couldn't understand spring and flowers, the temple was full of people with hairpin flowers. How could her daughter not have one.

When everyone came to the main hall, Madam Xu beside Madam Xing had already bought two beautiful shepherd's flowers.

"Put it on, how can my daughter be compared to others'?"

Mrs. Xing personally put them on for Yingchun and Daiyu. This kind of intimacy made Yingchun and Daiyu a little uncomfortable, but after putting on the shepherd's flower, both of them showed sweet smiles and thanked each other with blessings.

"These two girls, you can't be polite to me..."

Although Mrs. Xing complained that the two of them were being polite to her, the corners of her mouth rose slightly when she turned around, and she was obviously happy in her heart.

When Daiyu and Yingchun were playing and laughing at each other, Nanny Xu smiled and whispered in Mrs. Xing's ear: "Madam is right, you are the aunt of the second master, the third master, and the second girl, and the relative of Miss Lin." Aunt, her future mother-in-law. As long as you grasp this point, your luck is still to come."

Mrs. Xing has been married to Rongguo Mansion for more than ten years, and she has been looked down upon by others for more than ten years, but what else can she feel at ease besides hugging money by her side?

By pardoning the Grand Master?Will Grand Master Xi have a girl by his side?

In the eyes of Mrs. Xing, only the money near her can allow her to subsidize her natal family and give her a sense of security.

Until Jia Cong gained the attention of the Elder She, from time to time a chubby little boy in her room would ask her for snacks, and would sneak a few silver coins to her from time to time. some sweet words.

Even Jia Lian and his wife respected her. She, the almost forgotten mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, finally had the status she deserved.

What the nanny said is right, she is the serious mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, the super-class Marquis of Rongguo granted by the imperial court, and the aunt of Jia Lian, Jia Cong, and Yingchun. Will her luck be less?
when, when, when...

dong dong dong...

The sound of bells and chimes and the sound of wooden fish knocking made Mrs. Xing, who was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, look more gentle and pious. She prayed to the gods and Buddhas to bless Jia Lian and his wife who are far away in the south of the Yangtze River and Jia Cong from Shandong. As for the pardon of the Grand Master, who is that?Mrs. Ben doesn't know her at all.

Yingchun and Daiyu knelt beside him, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes and prayed.After adding incense and lamp oil, Mrs. Xing took the two girls to play in the temple. From time to time, they would meet the wives and wives whom they knew well.

Mrs. Xing, who had just sent away a noble lady and was not used to dealing with these noble ladies, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to take the maids to visit the pagoda when she heard a man's greeting in her ear.

"Junior Sun Shaozu pays his respects to his wife, and has met the two girls."

The person in front of him was quite heroic, his appearance was rough and upright, but he was also well-rounded.

Nanny Xu briefly mentioned Sun Shaozu's identity in her ear, and Mrs. Xing nodded politely after knowing that he was a general of her own.

Although Sun Shaozu greeted Mrs. Xing and spoke, he secretly looked at Yingchun and Daiyu behind him, which made the sensitive Daiyu feel very displeased.

She gently pulled Yingchun's hand, and the two of them hid behind Mrs. Xing, and accidentally touched Mrs. Xing's back.

Sun Shaozu was saying that he heard that the old lady was unwell and planned to visit her at another time. Madam Xing thought that Yingchun and Daiyu touched her back to remind her to refuse.

So she said apologetically: "Master is not at home now, there are only female relatives left at home, so it is really inconvenient to entertain. If Mrs. Sun comes to Beijing, I will definitely send a post to invite Mrs. Sun to come to the mansion."

Now that everyone has said this, Sun Shaozu naturally doesn't want to be too abrupt.However, he was unwilling and planned to try to bring the topic to the two girls, but was interrupted by a person who appeared suddenly.

"My nephew is visiting my aunt..."

"Erlang rests today?"

It was none other than Jia Lian, Baoyu and Jia Cong's friend Liu Xianglian.

Compared with Sun Shaozu, Liu Xianglian, who was born in Li Guogong's mansion, is a close descendant of Rongguo Mansion.Not to mention, Liu Xianglian has a good relationship with the brothers in the family, and she is a good family friend.

Madam Xing looked much closer to Liu Xianglian, and Yingchun and Daiyu saluted and said hello: "Second Brother Liu."

"Second Sister Ann, Miss Lin Ann."

Liu Xianglian returned a salute, then nodded to Sun Shaozu, and then replied to Mrs. Xing: "Today is my mother's memorial day, and my nephew asked to use the opportunity of the puja to pray for my mother."

"So that's the case, then you now..."

Mrs. Xing was impatient to continue the greetings with Sun Shaozu, and any fool could detect that Sun Shaozu had other intentions.

Fortunately, Liu Xianglian was willing to get close to the people of Rongguo Mansion, so she cupped her hands and said, "These days there are many refugees in Gyeonggi, and the law and order are not very good, so my nephew will be responsible for protecting my aunt and two younger sisters."

Mrs. Xing's impression of Liu Xianglian instantly increased several layers, this child is really caring.

She turned her head to look at Sun Shaozu, with an apologetic face: "Brother Sun, if there is nothing wrong, I will take the two girls to the temple first, and when your mother comes, remember to ask someone to come to the mansion to say something."

Sun Shaozu cursed all eighteen generations of Liu Xianglian's ancestors in his heart, but he still had to smile and say that he didn't dare to disturb his wife Yaxing, so he said goodbye and left.

Liu Xianglian took half a step back and followed Mrs. Xing, strictly observing the etiquette without looking sideways, as if she came here to be Mrs. Xing's guard, so that Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, and Daiyu, all think highly of her.

Nanny Xu whispered to Mrs. Xing: "Madam, that Sun Shaozu's intentions are impure, and this old servant just saw him keep looking at Miss Er and Miss Lin."

"Ah? Then..."

Mrs. Xing didn't see this scene, so she became alert.

Mother Xu hurriedly reminded: "Don't get in the way, Second Master Liu just came and interrupted Sun Shaozu's words. The old slave feels that this guy will definitely try to trick our girl again, and his wife will definitely not accept this guy." Talk."

Madam Xing didn't dare to take it lightly, so she hurriedly nodded slightly.

Liu Xianglian is no longer that swinger, and Mrs. Xing was so beautiful when she saw the scene of Donghun in front of the imperial court last year.

Not only is the fifth-rank Xiaoqi Captain and General Wude bestowed by the emperor, but he also leads the Shenwu Battalion with the title of Qianhu, and temporarily obeys orders in front of the emperor.

And I heard from Brother Cong that Liu Xianglian's martial arts skills can at least rank among the top five among his peers, such a brother...

If you put aside his family background, the second girl is quite suitable!

Mrs. Xing felt more and more that her idea was good, so she thought about going back to discuss it with the old lady.

Her aunt, in front of her, really broke her heart!

Liu Xianglian was concerned about the defense between men and women, and kept her eyes fixed. She only replied respectfully when Mrs. Xing was chatting with him. It wasn't until noon that Mrs. Xing invited Liu Xianglian to have dinner together, and he shirked himself to go with his friends. Then come to escort my aunt back to Beijing Yunyun.

"He's a good brother, but it's a pity that the head of the Liu family is so stupid that he buried the pearl."

Mrs. Xing watched Liu Xianglian leave the abode of the guest courtyard, she couldn't help sighing, and the two girls all nodded in agreement.

When he was at Iron Net Mountain, Liu Xianglian shot through the Wala Tartar who was molesting Brother Rong's wife with one arrow, and the two of them had very good feelings for him.

As for those bad rumors about the capital, heh...

Liu Xianglian really didn't come to Dabaoen Temple alone. He came to the guest courtyard next to him, opened the door and went in, and saw Feng Ziying eating vegetarian food.

"I thought the second brother was going to have dinner with my aunt."

Feng Ziying meant something, and Liu Xianglian couldn't help but blush.

The servant brought the bowls and chopsticks, but Liu Xianglian had no appetite.If he was not mistaken before, that Sun Shaozu's intention was probably to hit the girl of Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Xing only brought the second girl and Miss Lin with her today. Miss Lin is the magistrate of the county, the only daughter of Mrs. Lin, and the fiancée bestowed by brother Cong.

Then, only the second girl is left!

Liu Xianglian's heart suddenly became irritable, and she lost her former calmness.

Damn!

Bang!
Feng Ziying, who was eating, was taken aback, and poured the food down her throat with tea.

"Second brother, what happened?"

Liu Xianglian didn't have the slightest courtesy among the brothers, but instead asked with a blushing face, "Ziying, if I go to propose marriage to Duke She, will he beat me out with a stick?"

puff……

Feng Ziying spat out a mouthful of tea, her eyes widened and she coughed repeatedly.

After some difficulty, he stroked his chest to relieve his breath, and suddenly laughed loudly: "I'll just say it, the second brother suddenly left me to pay tribute to Aunt Jia's family, and accompanied me to visit the scenery in the temple. ah!"

Liu Xianglian wiped the tea off her face, speechless.

Just now, he really didn't go there for this reason, he just saw a man blocking the female relatives of the Rongguo Mansion from a distance, and he enthusiastically went to make a rescue...

Well, he does have the intention of getting close to the Rongguo Mansion!
"Ziying, lend me some help and help me find someone."

Liu Xianglian spoke solemnly, and Feng Ziying naturally put away her jokes, and her expression became solemn.

He asked: "But that man just now? If I remember correctly, he came from Datong, and his father and grandfather were generals of the Xianrong Kingdom."

Liu Xianglian nodded: "That's right, brother Cong mentioned it to me before, and told me to inquire with my friends in Shanxi about the reputation of the Sun family in Datong."

Ok?
Feng Ziying's expression became subtle. Is this really planning to marry the second girl?No wonder Liu Erlang, the cold-faced gentleman, was in a hurry today.

However, not like ah!

Seeing Liu Xianglian's gloomy expression, he couldn't help asking: "Second brother is worried that Mr. She will appoint this person for the second girl?"

"No, Brother Cong once showed disgust when he talked about this person. It's not that Ziying is unaware of the situation in the Rongguo Mansion. In fact, the second girl's marriage is not decided by She Gong, but Brother Cong."

When Liu Xianglian said this, Feng Ziying was even more puzzled.

Liu Xianglian snorted coldly and continued: "I just feel that this person has a weird mind. He just kept looking at the two girls. How would a decent person behave like this?"

Feng Ziying is also a son of a family, so naturally she would not do such a disrespectful thing, and at the same time, she extremely despised such a person.

Immediately nodded in response, and said that he would send someone to Liu's house to obey orders when he returned to Beijing.

After Liu Xianglian bowed her hands and thanked her, she ordered the meal to be set up again.Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying had only eaten half of the melon, so how could he let him go so easily.

"Don't worry, second brother, let's continue talking about your marriage proposal with Gong She..."

Now Liu Xianglian became anxious, he just opened his mouth in a moment of impatience, and Feng Ziying mentioned this, and his neck was red.

"I...I...just...uh..."

Feng Ziying chuckled: "It's really possible. Brother Cong treats people regardless of family status. Second brother has now obtained an imperial position and has a bright future. If you go to propose marriage, there is at least a [-]% to [-]% chance. And..."

"And what?"

"And the second brother has another advantage, he is beautiful! Hahahaha..."

"Ziying, you..."

Liu Xianglian blushed even more when she was teased by Feng Ziying, but her heart was even hotter.

Feng Ziying continued to talk about how to behave in front of Jia's family, and Liu Xianglian, who spoke bluntly, felt itchy in her heart and secretly made up her mind.

After sending the carriage to Rongguo Mansion back to Beijing, he searched for some pretty good gifts at home and rushed to Zhongshun Prince's Mansion after thinking about it.

……

The grain, grass, medicines and other supplies from the capital were finally sent to Yanzhou Prefecture on March [-]th.

There were also civil and military officials urgently dispatched by the Ministry of Officials, including Cao Jiufan, the trusted prefect, Duan Linchuan, the Tongzhi prefect, Luo An, the general judge, and so on.

The Ministry of Officials agreed to Jia Cong's temporary appointment of Hong Shixing and other Yanzhou gentry, and ordered Hong Shixing to act as the county magistrate of Ziyang temporarily.

It's not that Hong Shixing didn't do well these days, but that the imperial court has regulations, and all officials should note their drafts and avoid their own principles.

However, after Hong Shixing received the order from the Ministry of Officials, he came to the government office to find Jia Cong, saying that he was old and would resign at home after Yanzhou was stabilized, and wanted Jia Cong to help plan for his two sons.

The character of the two sons of the Hong family is justified, and Hong Shixing helped Jia Cong a lot this time.During the defense of Yanzhou, Hong Shixing ran around the city for several days in a row. Lu Xiaozu was able to recruit tens of thousands of young men and women to help defend the city, and Hong Shixing contributed a lot.

Therefore, Jia Cong also agreed to him, and said that as long as the two sons of the Hong family did not violate the laws of the country, Jia Cong would not ignore it within his ability.

Cao Jiufan and others were carefully selected talents by the Ministry of Officials. After a day or two of familiarization, they quickly accepted the government affairs of Yanzhou City.

On March [-]th, Jia Cong was discussing the matter of the Confucius family in Qufu with his teacher Xu Jin, who had finally been idle, but he heard a report from his own soldiers, and someone from Beijing sent a letter from home.

The person who came was Jia Liuer, a soldier of the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Cong was greatly surprised to hear that he came on horseback without stopping for three days.

Jia Cong was not very familiar with the handwriting on the letter. After inquiring, he learned that it was dictated by the old lady and written by Jia Rong's wife Qin Keqing.

As the letter turned over page by page, Jia Cong's face gradually became gloomy.

The old lady was frightened and lingered on the bed. At first, she didn't notice anything wrong. Later, after thinking about it while lying on the bed, she realized that she had been tricked again.

If Jia Jing wasn't there at the time and he fell ill in fright, Rongguo Mansion wouldn't mess up?

And if something happened to Jia Cong, he couldn't afford to get sick... To put it bluntly, if he accidentally went there, wouldn't the people outside the Rongguo Mansion have to observe the filial piety?

The most important point, seeing the Yuanchun month in the palace getting bigger and bigger, but if there is a disturbance and hurts Longzi, it will be a catastrophe.

"In front of good calculations, it's really a loop!"

Jia Cong slapped the letter on the table, and said to Jia Shishi: "Uncle Shiyi, write a letter to Beijing, and ask someone to check the Duke's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion..."

"Little third master, the old patriarch has sent someone to investigate."

Jia Liuer's face was exhausted, he drank several bowls of tea before recovering.He cupped his hands and said: "When my subordinates left the capital, the old patriarch told me to send a message to the young third master, saying that there is him in Beijing, so you don't have to worry too much, and you can handle the emperor's mission with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Jia Cong regained his senses.

There is also a big boss in the family, and the people who plot against the Jia family will never be able to please them.But one thing the old lady said in the letter still made Jia Cong a little worried.

As the old lady said, the biggest purpose of this calculation should be Yuan Chun in the palace and the dragon child in Yuan Chun's womb.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong had no choice but to raise his heart, and began to study ink to reply.

One was sent back to Rongguo Mansion for safety, and the other was written directly to Liu Hong.Now that his thickest thighs in the palace should be used, he couldn't believe it. With the help of the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, and the good fourth brother Liu Hong, could something happen to the eldest sister Yuan Chun?

Jia Liuer only rested for the night, and hurried to the capital with Jia Cong's letter.After seeing off Jia Liuer, Jia Cong still couldn't let go, and thought about going to the courtyard where Liu Ke was temporarily staying.

Since someone makes him unhappy, he makes more people unhappy.

The dead eunuch Xia Jiang has been in Qufu for so long, and some things should be put on the agenda!
